How to survive the flight to Playa Zancudo?
No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We’ve put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Playa Zancudo escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you’ve got all the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll want some toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort really should be your main priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a smart option.
  • The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Playa Zancudo?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We’ve put together some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Playa Zancudo, here you come:

  • Keep your ID and boarding pass handy. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked for by airport security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • There’s a chance you’ll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
