We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and enjoying Puerto Caimito in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Puerto Caimito in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Travelling with a new cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
