Cheap Flights to Cabo Frio

If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a pain-free start to your getaway in Cabo Frio. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being organised before you get to the airport can make your trip to Cabo Frio a breeze. Here are some useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
