Do you have any tips for my flight to El Gigante?
If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your getaway in El Gigante. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and wear flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
  • The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to El Gigante?
It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out El Gigante, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • 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 before you know it.
  • Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
