Do you have any tips for my flight to Lahad Datu?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a blast in Lahad Datu in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Lahad Datu?
It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Lahad Datu, here you come:

  • Keep your travel documents and passport handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
  • Your belt, jacket, 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 faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
  • Want to bring along your favourite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
