We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through the airport and seeing the best of Pulau Derawan in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Pulau Derawan easy and painless. Below you'll find some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
