How to survive the flight to Shanghai?
If you’re not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there’s no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your vacation in Shanghai.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be easy if you carry the right gear. First of all you’ll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don’t forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a sensible choice.
  • A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Shanghai?
It’s simple — be prepared. We’ve pulled together some useful tips for a speedy trip through security. Look out Shanghai, here you come:

  • Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don’t hold up the queue.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online in no time.
  • 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-close bag, it’s fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Sharp or pointed items can’t be taken on board. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
