Do you have any tips for my flight to Batticaloa?
If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a hassle-free start to your time in Batticaloa. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
  • The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Batticaloa?
Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Batticaloa a pleasure. Read through our handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

  • Have your travel documents and ID handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
  • Travelling with your favourite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
