Do you have any tips for my flight to Santa Maria?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Santa Maria could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a great travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of 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 Santa Maria?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Santa Maria in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

  • Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots 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 luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
