Cheap Flights to Alexandria

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a ball in Alexandria before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy --- first, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Alexandria a piece of cake. Below are some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
