How to survive the flight to Zihuatanejo?
No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you’re well organised. We’ve put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Zihuatanejo escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It’s also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, don’t forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural-fibre clothing and remember to pack a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
  • A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks may also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Zihuatanejo?
It’s all about being prepared. We’ve pulled together some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Zihuatanejo, here you come:

  • Keep your boarding pass and passport at hand. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to present to security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
  • Want to bring along your favourite perfume? As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-close bag, you’re permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • It’s also likely that you’ll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
