Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
  • Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to San Miguel Petapa?
The secret is to be well prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to San Miguel Petapa in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

  • First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Traveling with your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
