Do you have any tips for my flight to El Escobal?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and seeing the best of El Escobal in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of 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.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to El Escobal?
The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to El Escobal before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

  • Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
  • Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product 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.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
