Question 10

How to survive the flight to Sharjah?

Accepted Answer

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Sharjah escape started on the right foot.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's lots you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

Question 11

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

Accepted Answer

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Sharjah in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
Can't travel without your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
