Flights to Tequila, Veracruz from

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will get your Tequila vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Tequila easy and painless. Read through our handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
