Do you have any tips for my flight to Playa del Carmen?

  • Get your trip off to a good start by being well prepared. Pack your passport or ID, travel documents and medications first. Next, think about downloading some movies on your tablet for a sans-guilt binge session. Or, toss in that bestseller you’ve been wanting to read. Lastly, something to nibble on and a good neck pillow will go a long way to making the flight as comfy as possible.
  • There’s a list of items you should not pack in your carry-on bag too. Flammables, sharps and explosives are strictly prohibited in the cabin — they can include knives of any sort, aerosol cans and flares. Some sporting equipment, like tennis rackets and baseball bats, are also not allowed in your hand luggage. Your airline’s website will have all the details about what you can and can’t bring on board.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Go for comfort over fashion when flying. Dress in layers and wear natural fabrics since they allow air and moisture to pass through and keep you cool. Cabins can get colder on longer journeys, so pack a sweater and always wear sneakers or enclosed shoes.
  • Consider wearing compression tights or socks to help prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This condition is a result of blood clotting that can be caused by prolonged periods of sitting, especially on long-haul flights. Doing leg and foot stretches in your seat or wandering around the cabin will help improve your circulation.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Playa del Carmen?
Securing a cheap, last-minute flight to Playa del Carmen is as easy as being flexible with your travel plans. Leave your options open with your choice of carrier, travel dates and flight times. If your destination has a few airports to choose from, compare the prices of jetting into each of them for the best deal on your ticket.
