Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Barranquilla could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organized before your flight will make your trip to Barranquilla a breeze. Read through our top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
