Do you have any tips for my flight to Placitas?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and seeing the best of Placitas in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

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 nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Placitas?
As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Placitas in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

  • First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
