Do you have any tips for my flight to Santa Ynez?
If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a pain-free start to your vacation in Santa Ynez. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Santa Ynez?
The trick is to be well prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Santa Ynez in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

  • Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
