Flights to Búzios, Rio de Janeiro State from NT$31,104

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Búzios could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some stretches in your seat.

It's simple --- be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Búzios, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
