How to survive the flight to Estombar?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Estombar escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Traveling on a plane can be easy if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach 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:

  • Comfort really should be your priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a smart option.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Estombar?
The answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Estombar, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
  • Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
