Do you have any tips for my flight to Santiago de Compostela?
If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Santiago de Compostela. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

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 liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Santiago de Compostela?
A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Santiago de Compostela a breeze. Below you'll find some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

  • Be sure to have your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Can't travel without your favorite hand cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
