Do you have any tips for my flight to Dhigali?
If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pain-free start to your holiday in Dhigali. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
  • Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Dhigali?
The trick is to be organised before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Dhigali in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:
  • Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
  • Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
