How to survive the flight to Punta Cana?
Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you’ve prepared well enough. Follow these essential travel tips that will get your Punta Cana holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It’s also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don’t forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pack a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
  • It’s likely you’ve heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Punta Cana?
A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Punta Cana a breeze. We’ve rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

  • First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don’t hold up the queue.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
  • Travelling with a new cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
