Do you have any tips for my flight to Riverhead?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Riverhead holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.
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 sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Riverhead?
A little pre-planning before your flight will make your getaway to Riverhead easy and painless. Here are some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:
  • Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
