How to survive the flight to Gilgit?
If you’re not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there’s no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a comfortable start to your time in Gilgit.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you’ll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don’t forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids 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 products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and take a jacket just in case you get cold. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
  • The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Gilgit?
Being organised before you get to the airport can make your trip to Gilgit a pleasure. Below are some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

  • First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don’t hold up the queue.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online in no time.
  • Don’t forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
