How to survive the flight to Santa Catarina?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a ball in Santa Catarina in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
  • A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Santa Catarina?
It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Santa Catarina, here you come:

  • Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
