Do you have any tips for my flight to Santa Elena?
If you're not prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Santa Elena. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to 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 Elena?
Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Santa Elena easy and painless. Check out our handy hints for a swift journey past security:

  • Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
