We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and discovering Palatupana in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Palatupana?
It's all about being organised. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Palatupana, here you come:

  • First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
  • Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Travelling with a new perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
  • There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
