How to survive the flight to Desi?
If you’re not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there’s no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a comfortable start to your getaway in Desi.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you’ll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch a few z’s, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you’ll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and don’t forget to pack a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
  • Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Desi?
Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Desi a pleasure. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

  • First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don’t have to dig around for them.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online soon enough.
  • Can’t travel without your favourite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, you’re permitted to bring it with you on board.
  • There’s a possibility that you’ll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
