Do you have any tips for my flight to Santa María?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will get your Santa Marían escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
  • Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Santa María?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Santa Marían in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

  • Keep your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic devices 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.
  • Travelling with your favourite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
