How to survive the flight to Rio Rancho?
We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you’ll be speeding through the airport and exploring Rio Rancho in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you’ll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won’t be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
  • The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Rio Rancho?
The secret is to be organised before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Rio Rancho in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

  • Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online before you know it.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
