Flights to Soledad, Barranquilla from

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through airport security and enjoying Soledad in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Soledad, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
