How to survive the flight to El Zonte?
We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you’ll be speeding through the airport and enjoying El Zonte in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Travelling on a plane can be easy if you carry the right things. First of all you’ll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don’t forget to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don’t have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and take a cardigan in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your main luggage.
  • A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to El Zonte?
The answer is — be prepared. We’ve put together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Watch out El Zonte, here you come:

  • Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security. Have them close by so you don’t hold up the queue.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Want to bring along your favourite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you’re permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren’t.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
