  • First, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Comfort should always be your prime concern when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
  • It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to San Rafael?
Being prepared before your flight will make your getaway to San Rafael a piece of cake. Read through our top tips for a stress-free journey past security:
  • Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
  • Travelling with a new cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
