Do you have any tips for my flight to Punakha?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and discovering Punakha in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Punakha?
Being organised before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Punakha easy and painless. We've compiled some top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Keep your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
