How to survive the flight to Bunaken?
We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you’ll be zooming through airport security and discovering Bunaken in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you’ll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort really should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes work well.
  • Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to mitigate your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Bunaken?
Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Bunaken a pleasure. Below you’ll find some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren’t.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
