Cheap Flights to Laguna Verde

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. Follow these top travel tips that will get your Laguna Verde escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The trick is to be organised before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Laguna Verde in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass handy. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
