Do you have any tips for my flight to Alcantara?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and discovering Alcantara in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
  • You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Alcantara?
Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Alcantara a piece of cake. Check out our useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

  • Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
  • Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually 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 liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in 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.
