How to survive the flight to Palena?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Palena could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We’ve rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, put in your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you’ll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
  • The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Palena?
The secret is to be well organised before you get to the security gate. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Palena before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

  • Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Travelling with a new hand and nail cream? As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you’re permitted to bring it with you on board.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
