Do you have any tips for my flight to Santa Cruz?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these handy hints that will help get your Santa Cruz holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Santa Cruz?
It's all about being organised. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Santa Cruz, here you come:

  • Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
