How to survive the flight to El Tunco?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to El Tunco could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We’ve pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch a few z’s, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you’ll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don’t have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort really should be your number one priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a good idea.
  • A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It’s the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to El Tunco?
Being organised before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to El Tunco a pleasure. Below are some top tips for a swift journey through security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
