Flights to Conceicao de Jacarei, Mangaratiba from NT$2,490

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these handy hints that will get your Conceicao de Jacarei escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and take a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good choice too.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help lower your risk.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your trip to Conceicao de Jacarei a breeze. We've compiled some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you 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 electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne? Not a 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-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
