Do you have any tips for my flight to Cox's Bazar?

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Cox's Bazar could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Leave 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 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Cox's Bazar?

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Cox's Bazar quick and painless. Below are some handy tips for a swift journey past security:

Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
