Do you have any tips for my flight to San Salvador?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these handy tips that will get your San Salvador escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and pick flat, enclosed footwear like sneakers.
  • The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to San Salvador?
It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out San Salvador, here you come:

  • Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
