How to survive the flight to George Town?
No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you’ve prepared well. We’ve put together a list of top travel tips that will help get your George Town escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you’ll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you’ll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The narrow aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
  • Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to George Town?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We’ve put together some useful tips for a speedy trip through security. Look out George Town, here you come:

  • Keep your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They’re the first things you’ll be asked for by airport security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
