Flights to Sul Brasil, Santa Catarina from NT$65,685

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. Check out these handy travel tips that will get your Sul Brasil vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Sul Brasil, here you come:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
