Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Villa de Leyva could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.

It's easy --- be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a speedy trip through security. Look out Villa de Leyva, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often 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 in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
