Do you have any tips for my flight to Santa Cruz?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Santa Cruz could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and opt for easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
  • Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Santa Cruz?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your trip to Santa Cruz a piece of cake. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

  • Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
  • Want to bring along your favourite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
