• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you’ll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don’t have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, 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:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and pack a cardigan in case it gets cool in the cabin. Opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be prepared before you reach security. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to Playa Ancon before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Have your boarding pass and ID within close reach. They’re the first items you’ll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren’t.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
