How to survive the flight to Ribeira Brava?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and seeing the best of Ribeira Brava in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
  • Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Ribeira Brava?
It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Ribeira Brava, here you come:

  • Have your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
  • Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
