Do you have any tips for my flight to White River?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your White River escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and pick flat, easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to White River?
The trick is to be organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to White River in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

  • Keep your passport and boarding pass at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
