Do you have any tips for my flight to Santa Cruz?
If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your getaway in Santa Cruz. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a great experience if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
  • You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Santa Cruz?
A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Santa Cruz quick and painless. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
