Cheap Flights to Playa San Blas

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and exploring Playa San Blas in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your main luggage.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Playa San Blas a breeze. Check out our handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
