Do you have any tips for my flight to Balian?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Balian could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
  • Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Balian?
The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Balian in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

  • Keep your boarding pass and passport someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
