Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Kampung Besah escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce 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 simple — be organized. We've put together some tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Kampung Besah, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume 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), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
