Flights to Aguas De Moura, Palmela from NT$4,145

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a stress-free start to your getaway in Aguas De Moura. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Aguas De Moura a breeze. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids 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 in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise 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 suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
