Do you have any tips for my flight to Avila Beach?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and exploring Avila Beach in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Avila Beach?
It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Avila Beach, here you come:

  • Keep your passport and travel documents at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
