Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Praia do Guincho could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and take a jacket just in case you get cold. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Praia do Guincho a pleasure. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
