Accepted Answer

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through the airport and enjoying Leh in next to no time.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

Flying can be a cruisy experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.

Question 11

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

Accepted Answer

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Leh, here you come:

First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, 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 liter), clear zip-lock bag.
Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
