Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’ve prepared well. We’ve made a list of handy travel tips that will get your Guacimo vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. First of all you’ll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don’t forget to take your passport, travel papers 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 rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and remember to pack a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. 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 heavy boots in your main luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We’ve pulled together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Guacimo, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Don’t forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
