Do you have any tips for my flight to Piliyandala?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Check out these handy hints that will help get your Piliyandala holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
  • Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Piliyandala?
The secret is to be organised before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Piliyandala before you know it. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

  • Have your travel documents and passport handy. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
  • Travelling with your favourite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
