How to survive the flight to San Rafael?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to San Rafael could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We’ve put together some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don’t have a sharp object lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort really should be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help lower your risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to San Rafael?
It’s simple — be prepared. We’ve put together some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out San Rafael, here you come:

  • Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don’t have to dig around for them.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines will not 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.
