Do you have any tips for my flight to Kota Kinabatangan?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a ball in Kota Kinabatangan in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and opt for flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Kota Kinabatangan?
The answer is simple — be organised. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Watch out Kota Kinabatangan, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
  • Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
