Cheap Flights to Santaella

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a trouble-free start to your time in Santaella.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good pair of compression socks is also recommended.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Santaella in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
