Cheap Flights to Rio das Pedras

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Rio das Pedras escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Rio das Pedras a piece of cake. We've rounded up some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
