How to survive the flight to Atacames?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Atacames could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We’ve put together some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First things first, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch a few z’s, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you’ll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don’t have a pocket knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should always be the goal when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a good idea.
  • It’s likely you’ve heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Atacames?
The secret is to be well organised before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Atacames before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

  • Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID at hand. They’re the first items you’ll be asked for by airport security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
  • Want to bring along your favourite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-close bag, you’re permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
