Do you have any tips for my flight to Santa Maria?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Santa Maria could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
  • The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Santa Maria?
The answer is simple — be organised. We've rounded up some top tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Santa Maria, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you 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 minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
