How to survive the flight to Altay?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a ball in Altay in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put 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. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and take a sweater in case you get cold. Opt for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your luggage.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Altay?
Being organized before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Altay a piece of cake. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

  • Have your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
