How to survive the flight to Rancho Santa Margarita?
If you’re poorly prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But don’t hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Rancho Santa Margarita.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don’t forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and pack a cardigan just in case you get cold. Opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your luggage.
  • Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Rancho Santa Margarita?
The answer is — be prepared. We’ve rounded up some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Rancho Santa Margarita, here you come:

  • Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online soon enough.
  • Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually 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 inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
