Do you have any tips for my flight to San Rafael?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a blast in San Rafael before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • First things first, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
  • Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to San Rafael?
It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out San Rafael, here you come:
  • First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. 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 gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
