How to survive the flight to Faro?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Faro could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We’ve put together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you’ll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a wise idea.
  • The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Faro?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Faro quick and painless. Here are some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

  • Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren’t.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
