Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Kampung Bagan Ajam could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out Kampung Bagan Ajam, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
