We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a blast in Mexico before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin. 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 reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

It's all about being organized. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Mexico, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
