Cheap Flights to Rio Bueno from CA $159

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Rio Bueno could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Rio Bueno a piece of cake. Read through our top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Have your passport and travel documents handy. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine is up 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 coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
