DonтАЩt book your airport transfer at the last minute

### Pack liquids and electronics last
The airport security process regarding liquids and electronics has been globally standardized. When packing your carry-on, put your electronics and the clear bag with your liquids in easily accessible pockets or at the top of your luggage. Getting quickly through security means more time for last-minute shopping or relaxing in the lounge!
### Plan your travel outfit ahead of time
Wear a comfortable outfit for the long car ride and the flight. Change your outfit when you get to the airport if youтАЩd like that fresh and clean feeling before take-off.
Many airport security lines require you to remove your shoes. It is best to wear comfortable sneakers or have a pair of socks to put on when you remove your sandals. No one wants to be barefoot in an airport!
### Pack a car charger for your phone
Our phones are our lifelines when traveling! YouтАЩre never too far from a great photo opportunity on vacation, and ipads and e-readers are game-changers for long flights. Keep your devices as charged as possible with a charging cable, car charger, and a fully-charged, portable battery pack. The Cancun Airport has charging ports and electrical sockets for travelers, but bringing your own gives you the flexibility to sit anywhere.
