Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Dolores could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Dolores in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
