$94 Cheap Flights to Maues

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in Maues.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and remember to pack a sweater in case it gets cool in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Maues a breeze. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
