Do you have any tips for my flight to Cortes Island?
If you're not prepared, air travel can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a worry-free start to your vacation in Cortes Island. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Cortes Island?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Cortes Island, here you come:
  • First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. 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 phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
