Do you have any tips for my flight to Puerto Vallarta?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organised. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Puerto Vallarta holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
  • The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Puerto Vallarta?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Puerto Vallarta, here you come:

  • First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
  • Want to bring along your favourite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
