Cheap Flights to Vale do Lobo

If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your holiday in Vale do Lobo. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Vale do Lobo a pleasure. Below you'll find some handy tips for a stress-free 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. Keep them close by.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
