How to survive the flight to Puerto Cabezas?
If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a stress-free start to your vacation in Puerto Cabezas.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
  • You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Puerto Cabezas?
As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Puerto Cabezas in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

  • Keep your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Can't travel without your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you on board.
  • There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
