Do you have any tips for my flight to Alexandria?
If you're not prepared, travelling can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Alexandria. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Alexandria?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Watch out Alexandria, here you come:

  • Have your travel documents and passport handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Travelling with your favourite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
