Do you have any tips for my flight to Balikpapan?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Balikpapan could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a pleasure if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Balikpapan?
It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Balikpapan, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
  • Can't travel without your favourite cologne or perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
