How to survive the flight to Anuradhapura?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy travel tips that will help get your Anuradhapura escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The key to a comfortable flight often lies in the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
  • A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks can also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Anuradhapura?
It's simple --- be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Anuradhapura, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
  • Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
