Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you’re well organized. We’ve put together a list of essential travel tips that will get your San Andres escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch a few z’s, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you’ll arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don’t have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to San Andres quick and painless. Read through our handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport at hand. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It’s also likely that you’ll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
