How to survive the flight to El Gigante?
If you’re poorly prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But there’s no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in El Gigante.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you’ll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy work well.
  • You’ve probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to El Gigante?
Being organised before your flight will make your trip to El Gigante easy and painless. Below are some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

  • First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don’t have to dig around for them.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Any gels or liquids, 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, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
