How to survive the flight to Sofia?
If you’re poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But don’t hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Sofia.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be easy if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don’t have a pocket knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural fibers and take a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your main luggage.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended 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 also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Sofia?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We’ve pulled together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Sofia, here you come:

  • Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don’t hold up the queue.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
