We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you’ll be hightailing it through airport security and exploring Semporna in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don’t have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and take a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a wise idea.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks can also help.

Being organised before you get to the airport can make your trip to Semporna a breeze. We’ve rounded up some handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents easily accessible. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remove all 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 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed on board.
