Do you have any tips for my flight to Capitan?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Capitan could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, pack your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Capitan?
As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Capitan in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

  • Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
