Do you have any tips for my flight to Big Ambergris Cay?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Big Ambergris Cay could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First things first, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Big Ambergris Cay?
Being organized before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Big Ambergris Cay quick and painless. We've compiled some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

  • Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
