How to survive the flight to Rivas?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and seeing the best of Rivas before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also restricted.
- Comfort really should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a smart option.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help minimize this risk.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Rivas?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Rivas before you know it. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:
- Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
- Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
- For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
- Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
- There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
- Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
