How to survive the flight to Playa Grande?
If you're not prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Playa Grande.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The narrow aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also recommended.
  • Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Playa Grande?
Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Playa Grande a piece of cake. We've compiled some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

  • Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
  • Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
