Flights to Guaxupé, Minas Gerais from NT$34,840

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a blast in Guaxupé in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The secret is to be well organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Guaxupé in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
