Question 10

Do you have any tips for my flight to San Salvador?

Accepted Answer

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these essential travel tips that will help get your San Salvador holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

First things first, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown 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 airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to San Salvador?

Accepted Answer

It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out San Salvador, here you come:

Keep your ID and travel documents within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
