How to survive the flight to Sao Phao?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Sao Phao could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Here are some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The 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 chilly inside the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
  • The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Sao Phao?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach security. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to Sao Phao in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

  • First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Can’t travel without your favourite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-close bag, it’s OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • 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 in the cabin.
