How to survive the flight to Albufeira?
No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’re well organised. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Albufeira escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you’ll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you’ll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have a sharp object hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Albufeira?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Albufeira a piece of cake. Below are some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

  • Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID close by. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked for by airport security.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • It’s also possible you’ll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
