How to survive the flight to Columbia?
If you’re poorly prepared, traveling can be tough. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a pain-free start to your getaway in Columbia.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you’ll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help lower your risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Columbia?
The secret is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Columbia in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

  • Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There’s a good chance you’ll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
