How to survive the flight to Nilaveli?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Nilaveli could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that’ll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It’s also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don’t forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won’t be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to pack a cardigan in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
  • It’s likely you’ve heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Nilaveli?
The answer is simple — be organized. We’ve put together some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Nilaveli, here you come:

  • Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass at hand. They’re the first things you’ll be asked to show at airport security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online soon enough.
  • Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • It’s also possible you’ll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
  • Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
