We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and enjoying Dhaka in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

A plane ride can be a great experience if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Question 11

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

Accepted Answer

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Dhaka in a flash. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
Travelling with a new perfume? 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 allowed to bring it with you on board.
Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
