We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a blast in Jesus Maria in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Jesus Maria a breeze. Check out our useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
