Do you have any tips for my flight to Sao Nicolau?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Sao Nicolau holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • First, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Sao Nicolau?
The trick is to be well organised before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Sao Nicolau in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:
  • Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
  • Can't travel without your favourite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
