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

  • The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good book. It’s also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze 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 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Malpais?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Malpais in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

  • Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport handy. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to present to airport security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren’t.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
