We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in Monte Cristi in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and remember to pack a cardigan in case it gets cool. Opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks can also help.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Monte Cristi, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
