How to survive the flight to Etalai?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Etalai could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It’s simple — first, pack your passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you’ll hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be the goal when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy work well.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Etalai?
The secret is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Etalai in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

  • Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport easily accessible. They’re the first items you’ll be asked to present to airport security.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
  • Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • It’s also possible you’ll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
