Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you’ve planned ahead. We’ve put together a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Akumal vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you take the right stuff. First things first, you’ll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of breathable clothing and bring a cardigan in case it gets cool. Pick roomy, flat shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights may also help.

The trick is to be organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Akumal in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy so you don’t hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-lock bag, it’s OK to bring with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren’t.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
