Do you have any tips for my flight to Playa Blanca?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and enjoying Playa Blanca in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, 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 in the cabin by donning layers, and opt for easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Playa Blanca?
It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Playa Blanca, here you come:

  • First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
  • Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
