Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Itaquaquecetuba could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

The secret is to be well organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Itaquaquecetuba in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
