How to survive the flight to Shantou?
We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you’ll be zooming through the airport and exploring Shantou before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It’s easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don’t have a pocket knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The narrow aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and take a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Shantou?
The secret is to be organised before you get to security. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Shantou in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

  • Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don’t hold up the line.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), 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. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • 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 suitcase. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
