Do you have any tips for my flight to Sanya?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Sanya escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • First, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
  • Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Sanya?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Sanya before you know it. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:
  • Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Travelling with your favourite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
  • It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
