If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a worry-free start to your getaway in Governador Celso Ramos.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and don't forget to pack a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your getaway to Governador Celso Ramos quick and painless. We've rounded up some handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
