We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and seeing the best of La Paz in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot 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 improve your circulation.

It's all about being organised. We've put together some useful tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out La Paz, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
