How to survive the flight to Cartagena?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Cartagena could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We’ve rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a pleasure if you’ve got all the right gear. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can’t come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
  • The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Cartagena?
It’s all about being prepared. We’ve rounded up some useful tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Cartagena, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Can’t travel without your favourite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-close bag, it’s fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
