Do you have any tips for my flight to Goleta?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and enjoying Goleta in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Goleta?
It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Goleta, here you come:

  • First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Travelling with a new perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
  • It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
