Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Fajardo could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes work well.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Fajardo, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
