How to survive the flight to Matara?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Matara could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We’ve put together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It’s also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don’t forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Matara?
It’s easy — be prepared. We’ve rounded up some useful tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Matara, here you come:

  • Be sure to have your ID and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to show at security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Travelling with your favourite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • There’s a good chance you’ll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
