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

  • It's simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Colombo?
It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Colombo, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
  • Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
