Do you have any tips for my flight to Sentani?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and discovering Sentani before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and wear slightly roomy, flat shoes like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Sentani?
As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Sentani in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

  • First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Can't travel without your favorite hand cream? 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 fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
