Accepted Answer

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Darjeeling vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Darjeeling?

Accepted Answer

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Darjeeling in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

Have your ID and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
