Do you have any tips for my flight to Otara?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy hints that will get your Otara escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • A plane trip can be easy if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Otara?
Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your trip to Otara easy and painless. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:
  • Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Travelling with a new hand cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
