Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
  • You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Rio Grande?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Rio Grande, here you come:
  • Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
