If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pain-free start to your time in Kampung Solok Paku. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Kampung Solok Paku a breeze. Read through our handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
