How to survive the flight to Cholpon-Ata?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Cholpon-Ata could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We’ve put together some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It’s also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don’t forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don’t have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should always be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes work well.
  • The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Cholpon-Ata?
Being organised before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Cholpon-Ata a piece of cake. Below you’ll find some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

  • Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID within easy reach. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked for by security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • There’s a good chance you’ll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
