If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a trouble-free start to your vacation in Tetlatlahuca.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

Being organized before your flight will help make your getaway to Tetlatlahuca a piece of cake. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
