Do you have any tips for my flight to Mabul Island?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a ball in Mabul Island in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Mabul Island?
Being organised before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Mabul Island quick and painless. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

  • First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
