Do you have any tips for my flight to Platanillo?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Platanillo holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Air travel can be easy if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and pick easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Platanillo?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Platanillo in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:
  • First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, 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 as your turn draws near.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
  • Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
