How to get through airport security fast when traveling to Sandakan
If you like the thought of spending more time at the airport cafes and less time at the security checkpoint on your way to Sandakan, follow these practical tips:

  • Keep your passport and boarding pass somewhere accessible. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to produce by security personnel.
  • Coins, belts and wrist watches must be placed in a bin for X-raying. If you enter the body scanner with these items, you’ll be turned back and instructed to remove them.
  • Ensure your electronic devices and laptop are within easy reach. These items need to be put through the X-ray machine in separate tubs.
  • When it comes to traveling with gels and liquids, all passengers are permitted a quart-sized clear resealable bag to keep containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
  • Hiking boots and other cumbersome shoes are often X-rayed. Think about wearing lightweight sneakers instead.
  • Razors and knives are not permitted on board the aircraft. Stash them away in your checked luggage to avoid leaving them at the security checkpoint.
