How to survive the flight to Thimphu?
Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’ve planned ahead. We’ve put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Thimphu escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right things. First of all you’ll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cool. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
  • Most travellers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Thimphu?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Thimphu before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

  • Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online before you know it.
  • Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There’s a chance you’ll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
