Cheap Flights to Río Bravo

If you'd like to have some extra spending money on your Río Bravo holiday, listen up! As every experienced jet-setter knows, avoid booking at the last minute. Airfares are usually more expensive just prior to the departure date. Don't stop there, though. Do some research and see if there are a couple of airports at your destination. Ticket prices often differ depending on which airport you use. Don't forget to compare fares across airlines too. Last of all, another easy way to save some cash is be ready to book fast. If you see a fantastic bargain, don't hesitate — grab it while you can.

If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a stress-free start to your getaway in Río Bravo. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, 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 a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Río Bravo, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
