How to survive the flight to Karimabad?
If you’re poorly prepared, travelling can be testing. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pain-free start to your holiday in Karimabad.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you take the right gear. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don’t have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural fibers and remember to bring a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Karimabad?
The answer is — be prepared. We’ve pulled together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Karimabad, here you come:

  • First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don’t hold up the line.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, it’s fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren’t.
  • Sharp items are not allowed on board. They’ll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
