Flights to Santa Cruz de Monte Castelo, Paraná from

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Santa Cruz de Monte Castelo escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Santa Cruz de Monte Castelo a piece of cake. Below are some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
