Do you have any tips for my flight to Bharu?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Bharu could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Here are some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Bharu?
It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Bharu, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Travelling with your favourite perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
