  • It's easy — first, put in your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll arrive looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to El Cerrito?
It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out El Cerrito, here you come:
  • First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Travelling with a new cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
  • Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
