Do you have any tips for my flight to Bandos Island?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and enjoying Bandos Island in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

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 gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Bandos Island?
Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Bandos Island a piece of cake. Here are some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

  • Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
