How to survive the flight to Santa Cruz?
No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you’ve prepared well enough. We’ve made a list of handy hints that will get your Santa Cruz escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be easy if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won’t be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also recommended.
  • Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Santa Cruz?
Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Santa Cruz quick and painless. Check out our top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online before you know it.
  • Want to bring along your favourite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you’re allowed to bring it with you on board.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren’t.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can’t be taken on board. They’ll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
