How to survive the flight to Ilu?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Ilu could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
  • The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
  • The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks can also help.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Ilu?
It's all about being prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Ilu, here you come:
  • Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Travelling with your favourite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
