How to survive the flight to Semporna?
We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you’ll be hightailing it through airport security and exploring Semporna in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don’t have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and take a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a wise idea.
  • The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks can also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Semporna?
Being organised before you get to the airport can make your trip to Semporna a breeze. We’ve rounded up some handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Be sure to have your passport and travel documents easily accessible. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to present to airport security.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off 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 laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed on board.
