How to survive the flight to Tawau?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Tawau could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don’t have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Tawau?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Tawau a breeze. Here are some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

  • Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
  • Travelling with your favourite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you’re allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
  • Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
