How to survive the flight to Karkala?
We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you’ll be zooming through airport security and exploring Karkala in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and bring a sweater in case it gets cool. Opt for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
  • Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Karkala?
Being prepared before your flight can make your trip to Karkala quick and painless. We’ve rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

  • Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They’re the first items you’ll be asked for by 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 like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • There’s a possibility that you’ll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
