Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Ilhabela Historical Center could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your highest priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy work well.
• The 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 leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks is also recommended.

The trick is to be well organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Ilhabela Historical Center in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
