How to survive the flight to Playa Norte?
If you’re not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But don’t hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Playa Norte.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It’s also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don’t forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and take a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
  • The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Playa Norte?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We’ve put together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Playa Norte, here you come:

  • Be sure to have your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked for by airport security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
  • Travelling with a new hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
