Do you have any tips for my flight to Wood River?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Wood River could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • First of all, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
  • Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Wood River?
The answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Wood River, here you come:
  • Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
  • All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
  • Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
