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

  • A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don’t have a pocket knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
  • You’ve probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often 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?
As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Santa Maria before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

  • Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren’t.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
