No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you’ve planned ahead. We’ve compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your La Antigua vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you’ll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, can’t come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and take a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• You’ve probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There’s plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Wear compression socks, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

It’s all about being prepared. We’ve rounded up some useful tips for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out La Antigua, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Have them close by so you don’t hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed on board.
