Cheap Flights to San Luis

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in San Luis. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to San Luis quick and painless. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
