Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will get your Atotonilco el Alto holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and pick slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organised before your flight will make your getaway to Atotonilco el Alto a piece of cake. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
