• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right gear. First of all you’ll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don’t have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

It’s simple — be prepared. We’ve rounded up some tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Pachuca, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won’t allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
