How to survive the flight to Cairo?
If you’re not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But don’t hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your holiday in Cairo.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you’ll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have a pocket knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea too.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Cairo?
The answer is — be prepared. We’ve rounded up some top tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Cairo, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
  • Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually 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 in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed on board.
