How to survive the flight to Tachilek?
If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a pain-free start to your getaway in Tachilek.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a pleasure if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
  • Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Tachilek?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your trip to Tachilek a breeze. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

  • Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
  • It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
