Flights to Paracatu, Minas Gerais from

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Paracatu vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Paracatu, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
