Do you have any tips for my flight to Columbia?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Columbia could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be easy if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
  • The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Columbia?
The answer is simple — be organised. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Watch out Columbia, here you come:

  • Be sure to have your passport and travel documents at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
  • Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
