Do you have any tips for my flight to El Tambo?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your El Tambo holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
  • You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and pick flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to El Tambo?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to El Tambo in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:
  • Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass close by. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
  • Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
  • All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
