How to survive the flight to Rio?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Rio could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your main luggage.
  • Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Rio?
The secret is to be well organised before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Rio in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

  • Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
  • Can't travel without your favourite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
