Do you have any tips for my flight to Sanming?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a blast in Sanming in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • First things first, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to slip on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Sanming?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Sanming, here you come:
  • First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
