If you're not prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your time in Almeirim. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Almeirim, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product 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.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
