How to survive the flight to Rio Grande?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Rio Grande could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a few magazines. You’ll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don’t forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural fibers and don’t forget to pack a cardigan in case it gets cool. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
  • The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Rio Grande?
Being organised before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Rio Grande a breeze. Check out our top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Airlines won’t allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
