Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Sao Gabriel de Goias could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray 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. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and pack a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Sao Gabriel de Goias a pleasure. Read through our top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product 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.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise 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 in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
