We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through the airport and seeing the best of El Combo in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and pick easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The secret is to be well organised before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to El Combo in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Travelling with your favourite hand cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
