How to survive the flight to Cuenca?
We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you’ll be hightailing it through airport security and having a ball in Cuenca in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It’s easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you’ll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you’ll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don’t have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The narrow aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and take a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also recommended.
  • It’s likely you’ve heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Cuenca?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you get to airport security. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Cuenca before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

  • Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
  • Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • There’s a good chance you’ll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Sharp items can’t be taken on board. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
