Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Zao vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

First of all, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach 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:

Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

Question 11

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

Accepted Answer

It's all about being organized. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Zao, here you come:

Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
Lightweight sneakers are a practical 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 extra screening.
Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
