How to survive the flight to Columbia?

Accepted Answer

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and enjoying Columbia in no time flat.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up in breathable clothing and pack a cardigan in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Go for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Columbia?

Accepted Answer

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Columbia a piece of cake. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
