Do you have any tips for my flight to La Palma?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to La Palma could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and opt for slightly roomy, flat footwear like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to La Palma?
Being organised before your flight will help make your trip to La Palma easy and painless. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Keep your passport and travel documents within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
  • Travelling with a new hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
