How to survive the flight to Qumbu?
If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your getaway in Qumbu.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's simple — first, put in your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Qumbu?
It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Qumbu, here you come:

  • First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
  • Want to bring along your favorite perfume or 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-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
