We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a ball in Gavieira before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Gavieira, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
