How to survive the flight to Lanzhou?
Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you’re well organised. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Lanzhou holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. You’ll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are your best bet.
  • A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Lanzhou?
A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Lanzhou a piece of cake. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
  • Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
