Do you have any tips for my flight to Santa Elena?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Santa Elena could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged 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 Santa Elena?
The trick is to be organised before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Santa Elena in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

  • Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Can't travel without your favourite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
