Do you have any tips for my flight to Bintulu?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through the airport and discovering Bintulu in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
  • The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Bintulu?
Being organised before your flight will make your trip to Bintulu quick and painless. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

  • First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
  • Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
