If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your vacation in Vera Cruz. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting 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 aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out Vera Cruz, here you come:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
