Do you have any tips for my flight to Colombo 05?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Check out these handy hints that will get your Colombo 05 escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Colombo 05?
Being organised before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Colombo 05 a breeze. Check out our useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

  • First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
  • Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
