Do you have any tips for my flight to Santa Elena?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Santa Elena could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Santa Elena?
It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Santa Elena, here you come:

  • Keep your ID and boarding pass close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Travelling with a new hand cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
  • It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in 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.
