Do you have any tips for my flight to Chiang Rai?
If you're not prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a worry-free start to your time in Chiang Rai. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots 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 Chiang Rai?
The secret is to be organised before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Chiang Rai in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

  • First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. 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, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
