If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a worry-free start to your vacation in La Reina.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out La Reina, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
