How to survive the flight to Santa Cruz?
If you’re not prepared, travelling can be testing. But there’s no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a comfortable start to your holiday in Santa Cruz.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you’ll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

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 screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can’t come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort really should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
  • The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks may also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Santa Cruz?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to Santa Cruz in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

  • Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They’re the first things you’ll be asked to present to airport security.
  • Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier 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.
  • Want to bring along your favourite hand cream? No problem. 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 fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
  • It’s also likely that you’ll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
