We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and enjoying Pedro Martínez in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and pick flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

It's all about being organised. We've put together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Pedro Martínez, here you come:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
