Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will get your Vilaboa escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Vilaboa a pleasure. Here are some useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Travelling with a new hand and nail cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
