We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a ball in Rio Frio in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and pick flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some useful tips for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Rio Frio, here you come:

• Have your travel documents and ID close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand 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 quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
