How to survive the flight to Athuruga Island?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and exploring Athuruga Island in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural-fibre clothing and remember to pack a cardigan just in case you get cold. Go for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your luggage.
  • You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Athuruga Island?
Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your trip to Athuruga Island quick and painless. Check out our useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

  • Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • 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.
  • It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
