Flights to Penasco, Rio Lucio from

If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a hassle-free start to your time in Penasco.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your number one priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a smart option.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Penasco a piece of cake. Check out our handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
