Do you have any tips for my flight to Rio Rancho?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organised. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Rio Rancho escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • A plane trip can be a pleasure if you carry the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
  • Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Rio Rancho?
It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Rio Rancho, here you come:
  • Keep your ID and boarding pass handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) 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 slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
