Do you have any tips for my flight to Medellin?
If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your getaway in Medellin. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and wear easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Medellin?
It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Medellin, here you come:

  • First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • 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.
  • Want to bring along your favourite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
