Do you have any tips for my flight to La Rioja?
If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a trouble-free start to your time in La Rioja. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a great experience if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to slip on and off.
  • You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to La Rioja?
The secret is to be prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to La Rioja in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

  • Have your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
  • Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
