Do you have any tips for my flight to Thimphu?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a blast in Thimphu before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting 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 Thimphu?
The answer is simple — be organised. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Thimphu, here you come:

  • Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Travelling with a new hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you on board.
  • There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
