We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a blast in Pedro A. Santos in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and opt for easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've rounded up some top tips for a speedy trip through security. Look out Pedro A. Santos, here you come:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
