Do you have any tips for my flight to Santa Barbara?
If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Santa Barbara. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a pleasure if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and wear closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
  • You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Santa Barbara?
A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Santa Barbara a breeze. Below you'll find some handy tips for a swift journey past security:

  • Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
  • After that, 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 like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
