How to survive the flight to Rio Grande?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Rio Grande could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We’ve compiled some tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you’ll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don’t have a Swiss Army knife hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural-fibre clothing and take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
  • The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Rio Grande?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach airport security. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Rio Grande in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

  • Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online soon enough.
  • Don’t forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • It’s also likely that you’ll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
