Do you have any tips for my flight to Malanda?
If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a pain-free start to your getaway in Malanda. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Malanda?
The trick is to be prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Malanda before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

  • Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
