How to survive the flight to Ranala?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Ranala could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's easy — first, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort really should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
  • The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Ranala?
The secret is to be organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Ranala in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

  • Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
