If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in Los Olmos. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Los Olmos, here you come:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
