How to survive the flight to Jiayuguan?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Jiayuguan could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We’ve pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you’ve got all the right stuff. First of all you’ll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can’t come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be the goal when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Jiayuguan?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We’ve pulled together some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Jiayuguan, here you come:

  • Be sure to have your travel documents and ID within easy reach. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to show at airport security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Don’t forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Sharp items can’t be taken on board. They’ll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
