If you hope to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
  • The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Datong?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Datong, here you come:
  • Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
  • Travelling with your favourite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
