How to survive the flight to Santa Maria?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Santa Maria could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We’ve pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you’ll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don’t have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothing. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
  • Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

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

  • Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don’t have to dig around for them.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. 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 laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
