Flights to Al Shuqaiq, Ad Darb from

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and seeing the best of Al Shuqaiq in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pack a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also recommended.
• A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your getaway to Al Shuqaiq a pleasure. Below you'll find some handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
