Cheap Flights to Puerto de Santiago

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and discovering Puerto de Santiago in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Puerto de Santiago quick and painless. Here are some handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
