Do you have any tips for my flight to Old Bagan?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will get your Old Bagan holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, 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 main concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
  • The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Old Bagan?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Old Bagan a piece of cake. We've compiled some useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

  • First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
  • Travelling with your favourite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
