Do you have any tips for my flight to Samarinda?
If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a stress-free start to your holiday in Samarinda. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
  • Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Samarinda?
Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Samarinda quick and painless. Below you'll find some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
  • Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
