If you're not prepared, traveling can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a stress-free start to your vacation in La Unión.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also recommended.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out La Unión, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
