How to survive the flight to El Portal?
If you’re poorly prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there’s no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your getaway in El Portal.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should always be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The good news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to El Portal?
Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to El Portal easy and painless. Check out our useful tips for a swift journey past security:

  • Have your ID and boarding pass at hand. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked for by airport security.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items can’t be taken on board. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
