Cheap Flights to Brasilandia

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a pleasant start to your vacation in Brasilandia.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and don't forget to bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
• The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights is also a wise idea.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Brasilandia, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
