Do you have any tips for my flight to San Rafael?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and enjoying San Rafael in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to San Rafael?
Being prepared before your flight will make your getaway to San Rafael easy and painless. We've compiled some top tips for a swift journey through security:

  • Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
