Flights to Urubici, Santa Catarina from NT$60,261

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Urubici escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and go for shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've put together some helpful hints for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Urubici, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne? As long as the volume is no greater 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.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• 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 luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
