Cheap Flights to New River

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to New River could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've put together some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out New River, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
