Do you have any tips for my flight to San Tome?
If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your holiday in San Tome. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put 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 by security. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to San Tome?
The trick is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to San Tome in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

  • Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
