Travelling for the first time can always be challenging. But don’t worry, we are here to help. A little assistance is always necessary, and we are ready to give you a hand. In this entry, you will find a lot of information that may answer any questions you have.

You will need some documents before leaving your country. For all international travel a passport is required, and in some countries a visa is necessary. This is something you will need to take care of before your trip.
The day of your departure, make sure to arrive at the airport on time. In most airports, you must arrive one hour before for national flights and two hours for international flights. Once you are at the airport, you will be asked to go to the ticket counter to check in although in many airports today, you can do this automatically at a computerized check-in console located in the check-in area.

You’ll need to show your ticket and passport, and you will also need to check any luggage. You will receive your boarding pass and you will be directed to the security checkpoint with your documents and your carry-on luggage. From that point, you can go to the gate.

There are many regulations about your carry-on luggage. Some items are restricted and others are not allowed at all. Weapons, sharp objects, scissors, large sticks or inflammable objects are not permitted for security reasons. In addition to that, in terms of liquids, only a maximum of 1000 ml can be carried. Remember that your toothpaste, gel, shampoo, lotion and so on are included in the “liquids” list, so you need to be careful.
We hope this was useful to you before traveling. Enjoy your flight!
