Do you have any tips for my flight to Ixtapa?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Ixtapa could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Ixtapa?
Being organised before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Ixtapa a piece of cake. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

  • First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
