How to survive the flight to Santa Marta?
We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you’ll be speeding through the airport and enjoying Santa Marta in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don’t have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. Pick 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 boots in your checked baggage.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Santa Marta?
The trick is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to Santa Marta in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

  • Keep your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked for by security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything 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 all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online soon enough.
  • Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren’t.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
