Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Lavras could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We’ve compiled some tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. You’ll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don’t forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don’t have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural fibers and bring a jacket just in case you get cold. Always opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The trick is to be well organized before you reach airport security. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Lavras in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Keep your ID and travel documents close by. They’re the first things you’ll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren’t.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
