How to survive the flight to Playa Gigante?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Playa Gigante could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We’ve put together some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a cruisy experience if you’ve got all the right things. Firstly, you’ll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don’t forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and bring a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Playa Gigante?
As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach the security gate. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Playa Gigante in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

  • First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don’t hold up the queue.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online in no time.
  • Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? No problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-lock bag, it’s OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
  • Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
