Flights to Dili, Dili from

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and enjoying Dili in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also recommended.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

Being organized before your flight can make your getaway to Dili a breeze. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
