How to survive the flight to Colombo?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Colombo could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We’ve pulled together some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. You’ll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don’t forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
  • You’ve probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Colombo?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you arrive at security. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Colombo in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

  • First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don’t have to dig around for them.
  • Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
