We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and discovering Ilhabela in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be well organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Ilhabela in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
