Flights to Osvaldo Cruz, São Paulo State from NT$63,290

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Osvaldo Cruz could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Osvaldo Cruz, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
