We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a ball in San Francisco de Macorís before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The secret is to be well organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to San Francisco de Macorís in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
