Flights to Saude, Bahia State from NT$106,444

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Saude could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• 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, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

The secret is to be well organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Saude before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, 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.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on 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 smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of 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 on board.
