  • The trick to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
  • You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Turkestan?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Turkestan, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
