Do you have any tips for my flight to Santa Marta?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Santa Marta escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and opt for easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Santa Marta?
It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Santa Marta, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
