Flights to Mairinque, São Paulo State from NT$8,739

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Mairinque could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane 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 hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are your best bet.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Mairinque a piece of cake. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Have your boarding pass and passport at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
