How to survive the flight to Vilanculos?
We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you’ll be cruising through the airport and seeing the best of Vilanculos in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. You’ll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to pack a jacket just in case you get cold. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your luggage.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Vilanculos?
A little pre-planning before your flight can make your trip to Vilanculos a breeze. We’ve rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

  • Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID within close reach. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked for by airport security.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
  • Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren’t.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
