Do you have any tips for my flight to Fonseca?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Fonseca escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be easy if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
  • You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Fonseca?
As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Fonseca in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

  • Keep your boarding pass and ID easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
  • Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
