Flights to Parameira, Arouca from NT$2,044

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a worry-free start to your time in Parameira.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pack a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea too.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

Being organized before your flight can make your getaway to Parameira quick and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
