Do you have any tips for my flight to Pinnawala?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Pinnawala could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
  • Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Pinnawala?
Being organised before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Pinnawala quick and painless. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
