We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and seeing the best of Lapa in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance 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 socks or tights.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Lapa before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
