Flights to Guarujá, São Paulo State from NT$9,273

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a blast in Guarujá before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

The secret is to be prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Guarujá in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
