Do you have any tips for my flight to San Cristobal?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to San Cristobal could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
  • Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to San Cristobal?
It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out San Cristobal, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
