Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy tips that will help get your Barra de Valizas escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've put together some useful tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Barra de Valizas, here you come:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray 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.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
