How to survive the flight to La Rioja?
Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’ve planned ahead. We’ve compiled a list of handy hints that will get your La Rioja escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It’s also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural-fibre clothing and bring a jacket in case you get cold. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your luggage.
  • Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to La Rioja?
A little pre-planning before your flight can make your trip to La Rioja easy and painless. Below you’ll find some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

  • Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online soon enough.
  • Travelling with your favourite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-lock bag, it’s OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
  • It’s also likely that you’ll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
