Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will help get your Cabanas de Baixo escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be well organized before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Cabanas de Baixo in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
