Do you have any tips for my flight to Abu Dhabi?
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 help get your Abu Dhabi holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and pick flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
  • Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Abu Dhabi?
The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Abu Dhabi in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

  • Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. 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 inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
