How to survive the flight to El Nihuil?
If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in El Nihuil.What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Air travel can be easy if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Pack 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 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes work well.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help reduce this risk.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to El Nihuil?
It's all about being organised. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out El Nihuil, here you come:
  • Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
