We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a blast in Santa Catarina do Fogo in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

Being organised before your flight will make your trip to Santa Catarina do Fogo easy and painless. Here are some handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal 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 need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
