Do you have any tips for my flight to New River?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and exploring New River in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to New River?
Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your getaway to New River a pleasure. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
