How to survive the flight to Butterworth?
No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’ve planned ahead. We’ve made a list of handy hints that will get your Butterworth holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It’s also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and don’t forget to bring a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good idea too.
  • The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Butterworth?
The secret is to be organised before you reach airport security. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Butterworth in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

  • Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • Your 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 soon enough.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
