How to survive the flight to Son La?

Accepted Answer

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a ball in Son La in next to no time.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

Flying can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

The aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and pack a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
Most travellers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

Question 9

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Son La?

Accepted Answer

It's all about being organised. We've pulled together some useful tips for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Son La, here you come:

Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
Travelling with your favourite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
