Question 9

How to survive the flight to Alexandria?

Accepted Answer

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and enjoying Alexandria in no time flat.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

Air travel can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and pack a jacket in case it gets cool in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

Question 10

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Alexandria?

Accepted Answer

The trick is to be prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Alexandria in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
