When packing for your Cancun vacation, be sure to prepare your checked luggage and carry-on luggage properly. This will help avoid delays at the airport and will make security check-in a breeze.<\/p>\n

\"Packing<\/a>
\nKnow the 3-1-1 rule. This rule applies to CARRY ON luggage. You can have your liquids and gels in 3\u00a0ounce bottles (no bigger). \u00a0All of your 3<\/strong> oz. bottles need to fit inside 1<\/strong> Quart-size zip lock bag. Each traveler is allowed 1<\/strong> zip lock per carry on luggage only.<\/p>\n

Now that you know the 3-1-1 rule, let’s start packing!<\/p>\n

First, check out our Packing List<\/a>. Next, let’s prepare for the flight. \u00a0Here are some great travel tips:<\/p>\n

1. Wear slip-on sandals that are easy off and on. This can save a ton of time while you remove and replace your shoes at the airport security.<\/p>\n

2. Bring a word puzzle or book. \u00a03 hours or more on a flight is a lot of time to kill.<\/p>\n

3. Bring a travel pillow and blanket or jacket. The inside temp is difficult to control. On one flight I was freezing, and on the next I was sweating. Be prepared for both.<\/p>\n

4. Wear layers. This way you can remove your jacket or sweater when you arrive to the much warmer climates of Mexico.<\/p>\n

5. Bring earbuds to listen to the in-flight videos, weather & movies.<\/p>\n
