How to survive the flight to Punta Mala?
If you’re not prepared, traveling can be daunting. But there’s no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a pain-free start to your time in Punta Mala.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It’s simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch a few z’s, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you’ll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can’t come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort really should be your prime concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a smart option.
  • A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Punta Mala?
Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your trip to Punta Mala a piece of cake. Read through our handy tips for a swift journey through security:

  • Keep your passport and travel documents within close reach. They’re the first things you’ll be asked to present to airport security.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
  • Traveling with a new cologne? 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, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
  • There’s a chance you’ll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
  • Airlines won’t allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
