How to survive the flight to Zhaotong?
If you’re not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there’s no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pain-free start to your holiday in Zhaotong.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you’ll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you’ll arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural-fibre clothing and remember to pack a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your main luggage.
  • The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Zhaotong?
Being organised before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Zhaotong a breeze. Below you’ll find some handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

  • Have your passport and travel documents within close reach. They’re the first things you’ll be asked to present to security.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need 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 have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Travelling with your favourite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra 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 suitcase. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
