Flights to Alfombra, Barú from

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Alfombra could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to mitigate your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

It's all about being organized. We've put together some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Watch out Alfombra, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
