How to survive the flight to Shymkent?
If you’re not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a hassle-free start to your time in Shymkent.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
  • The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Shymkent?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We’ve put together some top tips for a speedy trip through security. Look out Shymkent, here you come:

  • First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don’t hold up the queue.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online in no time.
  • Want to bring along your favourite perfume? No 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-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • It’s also likely that you’ll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
  • Airlines won’t allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
