How to survive the flight to Lahad Datu?
We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you’ll be zooming through the airport and enjoying Lahad Datu in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a pleasure if you pack the right stuff. First of all you’ll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
  • Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Lahad Datu?
The answer is simple — be organised. We’ve pulled together some tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Lahad Datu, here you come:

  • Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport handy. They’re the first things you’ll be asked to present to security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
