How to survive the flight to Shillong?
If you’re not prepared, travelling can be daunting. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a trouble-free start to your time in Shillong.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, you’ll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you intend to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you’ll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
  • A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Shillong?
The answer is simple — be organised. We’ve compiled some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Shillong, here you come:

  • Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport at hand. They’re the first things you’ll be asked for by airport security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online in no time.
  • Travelling with your favourite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, you’re permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
