How to survive the flight to Goleta?
If you’re poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there’s no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a worry-free start to your getaway in Goleta.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that’ll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. You’ll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural-fibre clothing and bring a cardigan in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
  • Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Goleta?
The answer is — be prepared. We’ve compiled some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Goleta, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
  • Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
