Do you have any tips for my flight to Bandos Island?

  • Get your trip off to a flying start by being well prepared. Pack your passport, travel documents and medications first. After that, consider downloading a few blockbuster movies on your tablet for a guiltless binge session. Or, toss in that fantasy bestseller you’ve been saving for a rainy day. Lastly, a few healthy snacks and a blow-up neck pillow will help make the journey as comfortable as possible.
  • Don’t forget there’s also a list of prohibited items for your hand luggage which can differ between airlines. As a general rule, avoid packing anything explosive, flammable or sharp. This includes things like razor blades, knives, flares and aerosol cans. Sporting equipment like ski poles, baseball bats and objects considered weapons, such as batons and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane aren’t designed for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothes and bring a sweater as it can get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Sneakers or other closed-toe shoes are ideal for longer journeys.
  • The condition known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It’s the result of blood clotting caused by poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg stretches while seated can prevent it developing. Wearing compression socks or tights can also help to lower your risk.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Bandos Island?
Finding a cheap, spur-of-the-moment flight to Bandos Island is as simple as being flexible with your travel plans. Have some wiggle room when it comes to your flight times, travel dates and choice of airline. If your destination has a few airports, compare the prices of jetting into each of them for the best deal.
