Do you have any tips for my flight to Bumthang?
If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a comfortable start to your time in Bumthang. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

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 screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and pick easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Bumthang?
The secret is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Bumthang in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

  • Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
