Do you have any tips for my flight to Columbia?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and exploring Columbia in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your top priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting 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 gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Columbia?
Being organized before your flight can make your getaway to Columbia a piece of cake. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

  • Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
