S$226 Cheap Flights to O Ribeiro

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in O Ribeiro in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to O Ribeiro in a flash. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
