Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these handy travel tips that will get your Roteiro escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan just in case you get cold. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your luggage.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Roteiro, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
