How to survive the flight to Punta del Este?
If you’re not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints for a comfortable start to your time in Punta del Este.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort really should be your main priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy work well.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

  • For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Can’t travel without your favourite hand and nail cream? 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 luggage.
  • It’s also likely that you’ll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
