How to survive the flight to Santa Tecla?
Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’ve prepared well enough. We’ve made a list of handy hints that will get your Santa Tecla holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It’s also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort really should be the goal when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
  • The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Santa Tecla?
The answer is simple — be organised. We’ve compiled some top tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Santa Tecla, here you come:

  • Airport 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.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, 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), zip-lock bag.
  • It’s also possible you’ll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won’t be allowed on board.
