Do you have any tips for my flight to Sibu?
If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a worry-free start to your time in Sibu. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First, put in your passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Sibu?
It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Sibu, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you on board.
  • There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
