How to survive the flight to Rico?
We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you’ll be breezing through the airport and having a ball in Rico in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a great experience if you’ve got all the right gear. First of all you’ll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothing. Prepare for changes in temperature 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. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Rico?
The trick is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Rico in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

  • First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don’t hold up the line.
  • Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp items like knives can’t be taken on board. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
