Do you have any tips for my flight to Cidade Velha?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and seeing the best of Cidade Velha in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets 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. Wander 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 Cidade Velha?
It's all about being prepared. We've put together some top tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out Cidade Velha, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in 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.
