Do you have any tips for my flight to Novalja?
If you're not prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Novalja. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • It's easy — first, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and opt for easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
  • Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Novalja?
Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Novalja quick and painless. Here are some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:
  • Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.

Nicknamed the ‘Ibiza of Croatia’ it offers an ever-growing choice of clubs, bars and entertainment options. With crystal-clear waters and picturesque beaches just a stone’s throw from the action, it’s easy to see why Novalja is becoming such a popular destination.
