We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you’ll be cruising through the airport and enjoying Villa Isabela in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It’s simple — first, pack your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you’ll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can’t come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Villa Isabela a pleasure. Check out our handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them at hand so you don’t hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Don’t forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. 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 inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren’t.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
