Do you have any tips for my flight to Rivas?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and exploring Rivas before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • First, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
  • The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Rivas?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Rivas in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:
  • First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
