Cheap Flights to Punta Rucia

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and exploring Punta Rucia in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Punta Rucia easy and painless. We've compiled some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
