Question 10

How to survive the flight to Luxor?

Accepted Answer

Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Luxor could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

First, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Luxor?

Accepted Answer

It's all about being organised. We've put together some helpful hints for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Luxor, here you come:

Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
Your jacket, 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 as your turn draws near.
All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
