  • It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
  • Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Petra?

  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
  • Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
