Do you have any tips for my flight to Padang Panjang?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy tips that will get your Padang Panjang vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Padang Panjang?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Padang Panjang, here you come:

  • Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
  • Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
