Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Tepoztlan could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We’ve rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a few magazines. It’s also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don’t forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don’t have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach security. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to Tepoztlan before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online before you know it.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often 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 inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There’s a possibility that you’ll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
