How to survive the flight to El Monte?
Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you’re prepared. Check out these top travel tips that will help get your El Monte escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good read. It’s also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good choice.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to El Monte?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We’ve put together some tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out El Monte, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
