Do you have any tips for my flight to Santa Marta?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and discovering Santa Marta in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Travelling on a plane can be easy if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
  • Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Santa Marta?
The secret is to be prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Santa Marta in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

  • Have your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Can't travel without your favourite 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, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
