Flights to Riverton, Coquille from

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a comfortable start to your vacation in Riverton. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your getaway to Riverton a piece of cake. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
