We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a ball in Tres de Mayo in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Tres de Mayo, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
