We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and discovering Gualaca in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Gualaca, here you come:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Travelling with your favourite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
