How to survive the flight to Santa Marta?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Santa Marta holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • First things first, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:
  • Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to pack a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your main luggage.
  • The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Santa Marta?
It's easy --- be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Santa Marta, here you come:
  • Keep your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
