Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Balneario Arroio do Silva could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and wear easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Balneario Arroio do Silva, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product 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.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
