How to survive the flight to São Tomé?
We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you’ll be breezing through the airport and enjoying São Tomé in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you’ve got all the right things. Firstly, you’ll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don’t have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The narrow aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a wise idea.
  • It’s likely you’ve heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There’s plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to São Tomé?
The answer is simple — be organised. We’ve put together some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out São Tomé, here you come:

  • First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
  • Travelling with a new hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it’s fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • It’s also likely that you’ll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
