How to survive the flight to Kangding?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a blast in Kangding in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your prime concern when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
  • The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Kangding?
It's easy --- be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Kangding, here you come:

  • Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
