How to survive the flight to El Dorado?

Accepted Answer

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your El Dorado holiday started on the right foot.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and don't forget to pack a sweater in case you get cold. Pick roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your main luggage.
Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to El Dorado?

Accepted Answer

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out El Dorado, here you come:

Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove 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.
All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
Don't forget to remove gels and liquids 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 litre), clear zip-lock bag.
The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
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 baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
