Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Kampung Melaka could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

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

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
