How to survive the flight to River?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. Follow these essential travel tips that will help get your River escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to River?
Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to River a breeze. Here are some useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Want to bring along your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
