Do you have any tips for my flight to Bolama?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Bolama in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Bolama?
The answer is simple — be organised. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Bolama, here you come:

  • Keep your boarding pass and ID within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
