Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Porto Velho could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Porto Velho in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
