Flights to Tocuyo de la Costa, Falcón from

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your getaway in Tocuyo de la Costa. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Tocuyo de la Costa before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
