Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Rio Seco could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and take a sweater in case it gets cool. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The great news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organized before your flight will make your trip to Rio Seco a breeze. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
