Take a good book or a laptop crammed with your favorite TV shows — it'll help to keep you busy during your journey to Sri Lanka. Or if you'd rather enjoy a nap, an eye mask will block out those bright cabin lights.
Cabin temperatures can make you shiver. Bring an extra warm layer even if you're vacationing during the height of summer.

Search for a low-cost airline that offers seats in business class. They usually come with more legroom and a glass of bubbly — and a more appealing price.
