Flights to Sabaneta, Antioquia from NT$58,452

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Sabaneta could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your trip to Sabaneta quick and painless. Below are some top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• 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. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? 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're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
