Flights to Santa Cruz Mulua, Retalhuleu Department from

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Santa Cruz Mulua vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and take a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Santa Cruz Mulua in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Have your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
