We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and discovering Kampung Berapit before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids 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 place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Kampung Berapit, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
