Do you have any tips for my flight to Selem?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and exploring Selem in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • A plane ride can be a great experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
  • Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Selem?
It's all about being organised. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Selem, here you come:
  • Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass handy. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
