Do you have any tips for my flight to Punta del Este?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Punta del Este could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander 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 Punta del Este?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your trip to Punta del Este quick and painless. We've rounded up some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be 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 possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
