How to survive the flight to Trincomalee?
If you’re poorly prepared, travelling can be tough. But don’t hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your time in Trincomalee.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that’ll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You’ll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don’t have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes work well.
  • A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks is also recommended.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Trincomalee?
A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your trip to Trincomalee a piece of cake. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass easily accessible. They’re the first things you’ll be asked for by security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren’t.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
