How to survive the flight to Varanasi?
We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you’ll be hightailing it through the airport and discovering Varanasi in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you’ll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The narrow aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good choice too.
  • You’ve probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There’s plenty you can do to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Varanasi?
Being organised before your flight will make your trip to Varanasi quick and painless. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

  • Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
