Do you have any tips for my flight to Panama?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy hints that will help get your Panama escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Panama?
It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Panama, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
