Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Las Playitas could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cool. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Las Playitas in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
