Question 10

How to survive the flight to Dharamshala?

Accepted Answer

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Dharamshala holiday started on the right note.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to pack a cardigan in case it gets cool. Opt for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Dharamshala?

Accepted Answer

Being prepared before your flight will make your trip to Dharamshala a breeze. Below you'll find some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
