Do you have any tips for my flight to Panama?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Panama vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
  • Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Panama?
Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Panama easy and painless. Below you'll find some top tips for a swift journey through security:

  • Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID handy. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Want to bring along your favorite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
