Do you have any tips for my flight to Rio Formoso?
If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pain-free start to your getaway in Rio Formoso. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you intend to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and wear flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
  • Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Rio Formoso?
Being organised before you get to the airport can make your trip to Rio Formoso a piece of cake. Here are some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:
  • First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
  • Travelling with your favourite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
