We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and seeing the best of Paramaribo in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First things first, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Paramaribo?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Paramaribo, here you come:

  • Be sure to have your travel documents and passport within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Want to bring along your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
