Accepted Answer

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a trouble-free start to your time in Alor Setar. What to pack in your hand luggage:

Flying can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Alor Setar?

Accepted Answer

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Alor Setar a piece of cake. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

Keep your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
Can't travel without your favourite cologne or perfume? No problem. 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're allowed to bring it with you on board.
There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
