Do you have any tips for my flight to Playas?
If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your holiday in Playas. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and pick slightly roomy, flat shoes like sneakers.
  • Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Playas?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Playas in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

  • Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your 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 gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
