No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Campinas vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy work well.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Campinas, here you come:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
