How to survive the flight to Playas?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Playas could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First things first, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you’ll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you’ll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural fibers and don’t forget to pack a cardigan in case it gets cool in the cabin. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your luggage.
  • The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Playas?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We’ve put together some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Playas, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online in no time.
  • Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • There’s a chance you’ll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
