Cheap Flights to Aracataca

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Aracataca could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Aracataca, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on 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, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
