We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Montes Claros in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in breathable clothing and pack a pullover just in case you get cold. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Montes Claros a breeze. Check out our handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
