Don't leave booking your flight to Beatriz until the very last minute. That's one trick frequent jet-setters use to get the best prices. Booking ahead means more options and cheaper flights.

Don't forget to compare prices across airlines as well. And finally, remember that it's first in, best dressed. Know what a typical airfare costs and be ready to book your ticket as soon as you spot a bargain. The sweetest deals don't last long.

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a blast in Beatriz in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Beatriz a piece of cake. We've compiled some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne or perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
