Do you have any tips for my flight to Cortez?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Cortez could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • A plane ride can be a great experience if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
  • Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the 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 Cortez?
A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Cortez easy and painless. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:
  • First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. 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 need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
