If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your vacation in Kampung Bendang Darat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out Kampung Bendang Darat, here you come:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
