How to survive the flight to Ixtapa?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Ixtapa could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We’ve compiled some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It’s also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don’t forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and don’t forget to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also recommended.
  • The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Ixtapa?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We’ve compiled some useful tips for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Ixtapa, here you come:

  • Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID at hand. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked for by security.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online before you know it.
  • Can’t travel without your favorite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-close bag, you’re permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
