Do you have any tips for my flight to Playa Zancudo?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Playa Zancudo could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a pleasure if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Playa Zancudo?
Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your trip to Playa Zancudo a breeze. Below you'll find some useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

  • Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner 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-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
