Do you have any tips for my flight to Farasan?
If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a pleasant start to your time in Farasan. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

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 nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, 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 clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Farasan?
It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Farasan, here you come:

  • First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
