Do you have any tips for my flight to Riverside?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Riverside escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • First of all, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
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 gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
  • Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Riverside?
The answer is simple — be organised. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Riverside, here you come:
  • Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
  • All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually 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-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
