Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Kampung Ibok could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Kampung Ibok a breeze. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
