Do you have any tips for my flight to Rio?
If you're not prepared, travelling can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a hassle-free start to your getaway in Rio. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
  • Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Rio?
Being prepared before your flight can make your trip to Rio quick and painless. Below are some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

  • Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. 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 inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
