We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you’ll be cruising through airport security and exploring Arecibo in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a juicy novel. You’ll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don’t forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don’t have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are your best bet.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Arecibo easy and painless. We’ve rounded up some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Have your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
