We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a blast in Guaraú in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, 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 flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your trip to Guaraú a piece of cake. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
