RM1,728 Cheap Flights to Las Playitas

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will get your Las Playitas holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Las Playitas, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Travelling with a new hand cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
