Do you have any tips for my flight to Sigiriya?

Accepted Answer

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy hints that will get your Sigiriya holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

It's simple — first, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and choose shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Question 9

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Sigiriya?

Accepted Answer

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Sigiriya in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
