How to survive the flight to Santiago de Compostela?

Accepted Answer

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will get your Santiago de Compostela holiday started on the right note.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

A plane ride can be a pleasure if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

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 gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

The aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks may also help.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Santiago de Compostela?

Accepted Answer

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Santiago de Compostela, here you come:

First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
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 bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
