Do you have any tips for my flight to Kudafushi?
If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Kudafushi. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Kudafushi?
It's all about being organised. We've compiled some useful tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Kudafushi, here you come:

  • First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
