How to survive the flight to Esterillos?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a ball in Esterillos in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First things first, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to pack a sweater in case you get cold. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your main luggage.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Esterillos?
The answer is --- be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Esterillos, here you come:

  • Be sure to have your travel documents and passport within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
