We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and discovering Abra de Ilog in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and take a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Abra de Ilog before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
