How to survive the flight to Waigaoqiao?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Waigaoqiao could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a pleasure if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

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 avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be the goal when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
  • You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Waigaoqiao?
As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Waigaoqiao in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

  • Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
  • Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
