• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your getaway to José Ignacio a piece of cake. We've rounded up some handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Travelling with a new cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
