How to survive the flight to Urumqi?
We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you’ll be breezing through airport security and seeing the best of Urumqi before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. You’ll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, don’t forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don’t have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
  • A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks can also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Urumqi?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your trip to Urumqi a pleasure. Below you’ll find some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don’t hold up the line.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. 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 your turn draws near.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
