We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and seeing the best of San Felipe in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good choice too.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to San Felipe in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new cologne? As long as the volume is 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.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• 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 baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
