How to survive the flight to Santa Elena?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Santa Elena could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We’ve pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be easy if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The narrow aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and don’t forget to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Santa Elena?
The secret is to be well organised before you arrive at airport security. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to Santa Elena in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

  • Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online before you know it.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, 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-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Airlines won’t allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
