We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a ball in Weligama in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a pleasure if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a sensible choice.
- Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.
