How to survive the flight to Tuxtla Chico?
No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’re well prepared. We’ve made a list of handy tips that will help get your Tuxtla Chico vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don’t have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and don’t forget to pack a pullover just in case you get chilly. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your main luggage.
  • Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Tuxtla Chico?
As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Tuxtla Chico before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

  • Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
  • Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner 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-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
