  • Flying can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you’ll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should always be the goal when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are your best bet.
  • The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Santa Cruz?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to Santa Cruz in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

  • Keep your boarding pass and passport within easy reach. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to show at security.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Travelling with a new cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, you’re allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • It’s also possible you’ll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
