How to survive the flight to Xining?
No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Xining escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be easy if you’ve got all the right gear. Firstly, you’ll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, won’t be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
  • The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks may also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Xining?
It’s simple — be prepared. We’ve compiled some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out Xining, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
  • Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often 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, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won’t be allowed on board.
