Do you have any tips for my flight to El Tunco?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a ball in El Tunco before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to El Tunco?
The trick is to be well organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to El Tunco in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

  • First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Want to bring along your favourite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
