Do you have any tips for my flight to Colombo 03?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Colombo 03 holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
  • Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Colombo 03?
It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Colombo 03, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
