Do you have any tips for my flight to Playa Hermosa?
If you're not prepared, travelling can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Playa Hermosa. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First things first, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Playa Hermosa?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Playa Hermosa, here you come:

  • Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
  • Travelling with your favourite perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
