How to survive the flight to Shigatse?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Shigatse could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We’ve pulled together some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a magazine. You’ll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don’t forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
  • The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks can also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Shigatse?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Shigatse quick and painless. We’ve rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

  • Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport within easy reach. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked for by security.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, it’s OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
  • It’s also possible you’ll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
