Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Mataquescuintla could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your prime concern when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to lower your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Mataquescuintla, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
