Cheap Flights to Kapit

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Kapit could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've put together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Kapit, here you come:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
