Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Kampung Belanga Pudak could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

The trick is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Kampung Belanga Pudak in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
