Cheap Flights to Santa Catarina

If you're not prepared, travelling can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your time in Santa Catarina. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and pick flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organised before your flight will make your trip to Santa Catarina a pleasure. Below you'll find some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass close by. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
