Do you have any tips for my flight to Riga?
If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your getaway in Riga. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
  • The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Riga?
Being organised before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Riga easy and painless. Read through our handy tips for a swift journey past security:
  • Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
