Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Entre Rios do Sul could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and wear flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Entre Rios do Sul before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
