How to survive the flight to Tarrafal?
No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you’ve planned ahead. We’ve compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Tarrafal escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be easy if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don’t forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
  • 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 and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Tarrafal?
Being organised before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Tarrafal a piece of cake. Check out our top tips for a speedy journey through security:

  • Keep your ID and boarding pass handy. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to present to airport security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. 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.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online in no time.
  • Want to bring along your favourite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-lock bag, you’re permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • It’s also possible you’ll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
