Flights to Brusque, Santa Catarina from NT$3,575

If you're not prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a hassle-free start to your vacation in Brusque. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a speedy trip through security. Look out Brusque, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
