Do you have any tips for my flight to Palu?
If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a stress-free start to your getaway in Palu. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

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

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Palu?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Palu a breeze. Below are some top tips for a swift journey through security:

  • Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
