Do you have any tips for my flight to San Carlos?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your San Carlos holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be easy if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to San Carlos?
The secret is to be organised before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to San Carlos in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

  • Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
