How to survive the flight to Carpinteria?
If you’re poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there’s no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your getaway in Carpinteria.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It’s also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should always be your prime concern when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a good idea.
  • The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Carpinteria?
The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to Carpinteria in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

  • First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don’t have to dig around for them.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online before you know it.
  • Want to bring along your favourite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-close bag, you’re allowed to bring it with you on board.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren’t.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
