Do you have any tips for my flight to Athuruga Island?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and exploring Athuruga Island before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a pleasure if you carry the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
  • The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Athuruga Island?
The secret is to be prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Athuruga Island in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

  • Have your passport and boarding pass at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
  • Want to bring along your favourite cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
