Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will get your Barra de Ibiraquera escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Barra de Ibiraquera, here you come:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
