If you’re not prepared, traveling can be challenging. But don’t hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your vacation in Lukla.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good book. You’ll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don’t forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should always be the goal when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
  • The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Lukla?
The trick is to be well organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to Lukla in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

  • Have your passport and travel documents close by. They’re the first items you’ll be asked to show at security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
  • Want to bring along your favorite perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-lock bag, it’s fine to bring with you on board.
  • There’s a good chance you’ll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
