  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to arrive at least 3 hours before departure for international flights to ensure adequate time for check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have some extra time, take the opportunity to browse the shops, visit a coffee shop, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge, if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is generally free and widely available.

How to survive the flight to Zhaoyuan?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Zhaoyuan escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up in breathable clothing and bring a pullover in case you get cold. Pick roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
  • Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Zhaoyuan?
As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Zhaoyuan before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

  • Keep your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, 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.
  • All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
  • Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
