Your trip to Santa Maria starts as soon as you've finished the security checks. Here are a few handy tips to ensure you pass through quickly:

• Have your boarding pass and passport somewhere accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be told to produce by security staff.
• Bear in mind that belts with metal buckles can set off the body scanner's alarms. If you have one on, you may be instructed to remove it before moving on.
• Laptops must be taken out of their carry bags and placed in a tub before X-raying.
• Face cream, toothpaste and other toiletry items in gel, liquid or cream form need to be stored in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also fit in a 1-quart (1-liter) clear zip-lock plastic bag.
• Give some thought to your choice of footwear. Slippers are great because they're a cinch to slip out of when you're at the security checkpoint. Try wearing some on your next journey!
• Put any multi-tools or other sharp items inside your checked luggage. Airport security won't allow these aboard the aircraft.
