Question 10

How to survive the flight to Xi'an?

Accepted Answer

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Xi'an holiday started on the right foot.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

Air travel can be a great experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural-fibre clothing and remember to pack a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
Most travellers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Xi'an?

Accepted Answer

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for an easy trip through security. Look out Xi'an, here you come:

Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
