How to survive the flight to Tambunan?
We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you’ll be hightailing it through the airport and seeing the best of Tambunan in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be easy if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The narrow aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
  • It’s likely you’ve heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Tambunan?
The secret is to be well prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Tambunan in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

  • Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
  • Travelling with your favourite perfume? No 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 in your carry-on luggage.
  • Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • 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.
