How to survive the flight to Rivas?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Rivas could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort really should be your prime concern when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
  • A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Rivas?
A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Rivas a pleasure. Below are some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

  • Keep your travel documents and ID close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. 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 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
