No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will get your Oca de Arriba escape started on the right note. 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 important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Oca de Arriba, here you come:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
