Do you have any tips for my flight to El Alamein?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and seeing the best of El Alamein in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, pack your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
  • Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to El Alamein?
A little pre-planning before your flight will make your getaway to El Alamein quick and painless. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

  • Keep your travel documents and passport close by. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Can't travel without your favorite cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
  • Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
