How to survive the flight to Yining?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and discovering Yining in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First things first, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your highest priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
  • Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Yining?
It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Yining, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
