If you’re poorly prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your vacation in Sukawati.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you’ve got all the right gear. First things first, you’ll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and don’t forget to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks may also help.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Sukawati in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you’ll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne? As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-close bag, you’re permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
