How to survive the flight to Medan?
We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you’ll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in Medan before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and don’t forget to pack a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help lower your risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Medan?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to Medan in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

  • Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Travelling with a new perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-close bag, it’s OK to bring with you on board.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
