Do you have any tips for my flight to Putao?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and enjoying Putao in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember 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 differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and pick flat, easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
  • You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Putao?
The trick is to be organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Putao in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

  • Keep your boarding pass and ID easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
  • It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
