How to survive the flight to Mae Sao?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Mae Sao could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to catch more than just 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 deodorant so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and take a jacket in case it gets cool. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
  • Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Mae Sao?
The secret is to be well organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Mae Sao in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

  • Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
