How to survive the flight to Nias?
Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you’re prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Nias escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It’s easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you’ll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and remember to pack a cardigan in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick well-fitting, flat shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your main luggage.
  • It’s likely you’ve heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Nias?
Being prepared before your flight will make your trip to Nias a piece of cake. Here are some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

  • First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don’t hold up the line.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren’t.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
