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: > > > > - A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash. > > > > Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage: > > > > - Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also restricted. > > > > What to wear on a flight: > > > > - You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and pick flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons. > - Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation. ### How to get through airport security fast when flying to Arugam Bay? > As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Arugam Bay in next to no time.

Have them ready for inspection. > - Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near. > - Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough. > - Can't travel without your favourite perfume? 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 keep it with you in your carry-on luggage. > - Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not. > - Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
