How to survive the flight to Bandos Island?
No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’re well prepared. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your Bandos Island escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It’s simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you’ll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you’ll arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural-fibre clothing and take a sweater in case it gets cool in the cabin. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your main luggage.
  • A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks can also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Bandos Island?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We’ve put together some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Bandos Island, here you come:

  • Keep your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to present to airport security.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online in no time.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
