Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Tipitapa could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a proper 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:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Watch out Tipitapa, here you come:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
