Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Olympiada escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

First and foremost, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and pack a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Opt for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.

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

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Olympiada, here you come:

Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
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 before you know it.
Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
