• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that’ll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It’s also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and bring a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Alcantara easy and painless. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
