How to survive the flight to Galle?
No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We’ve made a list of handy tips that will help get your Galle escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First things first, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, can’t come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should always be your number one priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a smart option.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Galle?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to Galle in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

  • Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner’s 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.
  • All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • It’s also possible you’ll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
