How to survive the flight to Golmud?
No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’re well organised. Check out these handy hints that will help get your Golmud holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should always be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes work well.
  • A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights is also a wise idea.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Golmud?
It’s all about being organised. We’ve compiled some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Golmud, here you come:

  • Be sure to have your travel documents and ID within close reach. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to present to security.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • It’s also likely that you’ll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
