Do you have any tips for my flight to Albufeira?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will get your Albufeira holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Albufeira?
It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Watch out Albufeira, here you come:

  • Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
  • Travelling with a new cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
  • There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
