  • First things first, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort really should be your prime concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
  • Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Maicao?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Maicao, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
  • Travelling with your favourite perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
