How to survive the flight to Sao Goncalo?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Sao Goncalo could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We’ve rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It’s simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Sao Goncalo?
The trick is to be organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Sao Goncalo in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

  • Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID handy. They’re the first items you’ll be asked to show at airport security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
  • Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often 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.
  • There’s a chance you’ll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed on board.
