Do you have any tips for my flight to Shantou?

Accepted Answer

Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Shantou could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

Your priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Shantou?

Accepted Answer

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Shantou a piece of cake. Below are some top tips for a swift journey past security:

Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
Can't travel without your favorite cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
