Do you have any tips for my flight to San Gil?
If you're not prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your getaway in San Gil. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be easy if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
  • Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to San Gil?
As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to San Gil in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

  • Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Want to bring along your favorite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
