Do you have any tips for my flight to Santa Cruz?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Santa Cruz could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Santa Cruz?
The trick is to be well organised before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Santa Cruz in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

  • Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass close by. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
  • Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
