Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Candanchu could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Candanchu in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
