We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and discovering Samaipata in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before your flight will make your trip to Samaipata a pleasure. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Keep your travel documents and ID at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? 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, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
