Do you have any tips for my flight to Thalapathpitiya?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Thalapathpitiya escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • It's easy — first, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Thalapathpitiya?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Thalapathpitiya in a flash. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a great start:
  • First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and 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 for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
