Do you have any tips for my flight to Chengdu?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Chengdu escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's easy — first, put in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Chengdu?
The secret is to be organised before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Chengdu in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

  • Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
  • Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
  • Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
