We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a blast in Río Lagartos in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers 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 the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help lower your risk.

The trick is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Río Lagartos in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
