How to survive the flight to Desamparados?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy hints that will get your Desamparados holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's easy --- first, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should always be your priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Desamparados?
Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Desamparados a pleasure. Below are some top tips for a swift journey past security:

  • Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
