How to survive the flight to Pinnawala?
If you’re poorly prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But don’t hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your holiday in Pinnawala.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good book. It’s also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don’t forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy work well.
  • Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Pinnawala?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We’ve pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Pinnawala, here you come:

  • Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), 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.
  • Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
