Flights to Jinchang, Gansu from

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Jinchang could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

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 screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Jinchang quick and painless. Check out our handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
