Do you have any tips for my flight to El Progreso?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your El Progreso holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and pick flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
  • Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to El Progreso?
Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your getaway to El Progreso easy and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:
  • Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
  • Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
