How to survive the flight to Rio de Janeiro?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Rio de Janeiro could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good read. You’ll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don’t forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help lower your risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Rio de Janeiro?
Being organized before your flight can make your getaway to Rio de Janeiro easy and painless. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

  • Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
  • Want to bring along your favorite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
