How to survive the flight to Namche Bazar?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and enjoying Namche Bazar in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
  • The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fibre clothing and pack a sweater just in case you get cold. Go for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
  • The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Namche Bazar?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Namche Bazar in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:
  • Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually 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 litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
