Do you have any tips for my flight to Santa Ynez?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a ball in Santa Ynez in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Santa Ynez?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Santa Ynez in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

  • First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
