Do you have any tips for my flight to Playa Negra?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Playa Negra escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Playa Negra?
It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Playa Negra, here you come:
  • Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
