Flights to Boa Vista, Roraima from NT$15,247

If you're not prepared, traveling can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a comfortable start to your time in Boa Vista.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your number one priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a smart option.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Boa Vista in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
