Do you have any tips for my flight to Palma?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of handy hints that will help get your Palma holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave 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 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
  • You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Palma?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Palma, here you come:

  • Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Travelling with your favourite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
  • Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
