Do you have any tips for my flight to Cuenca?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Cuenca escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and wear flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Cuenca?
The answer is simple — be organized. We've compiled some top tips for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Cuenca, here you come:

  • Have your travel documents and ID within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
  • Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
