How to survive the flight to Salima?
If you’re poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your time in Salima.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you’ll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fibre clothing and take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
  • A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It’s the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Salima?
The answer is — be prepared. We’ve compiled some top tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out Salima, here you come:

  • Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
  • Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item 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.
  • It’s also likely that you’ll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
