Flights to Mogi-Mirim, Campinas from NT$7,160

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Mogi-Mirim could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Here are some handy travel 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 pleasure if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

The secret is to be organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Mogi-Mirim in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Keep your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
