How to survive the flight to Playa Blanca?
Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you’ve planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy hints that will help get your Playa Blanca vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It’s also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don’t forget to pack a jacket in case you get cold. Always opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
  • You’ve probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to minimize your risk. Wear compression socks, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Playa Blanca?
As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to Playa Blanca in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

  • First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
  • It’s also likely that you’ll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
