Accepted Answer

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a ball in Tarapoto in no time at all.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. 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 checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Tarapoto?

Accepted Answer

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Tarapoto, here you come:

First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
Can't travel without your favourite hand cream? 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, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
