Do you have any tips for my flight to Puerto Cabezas?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Puerto Cabezas could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • First things first, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels 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 layering up, and opt for slightly roomy, flat shoes like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, 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 Puerto Cabezas?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Puerto Cabezas before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:
  • First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
  • Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? 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're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
  • There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
