Flights to Rio do Sul, Santa Catarina from NT$3,655

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Rio do Sul could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good choice.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Rio do Sul, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
