How to survive the flight to Rio Chico?
If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Rio Chico.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort really should be the goal when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a smart option.
  • A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Rio Chico?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Rio Chico, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
