How to survive the flight to Santa Ynez?
If you’re not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But don’t hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your holiday in Santa Ynez.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First things first, pack your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes 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 banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won’t be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to bring a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
  • A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Santa Ynez?
Being prepared before your flight will help make your getaway to Santa Ynez a pleasure. We’ve rounded up some handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. 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 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
