Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Playa Bonita Village escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and pack a jacket just in case you get cold. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your luggage.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Playa Bonita Village before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
