• A plane ride can be easy if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don’t forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• You’ve probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There’s lots you can do to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform exercises in your seat.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to La Pera quick and painless. Check out our handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Keep your travel documents and ID close by. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
