If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your time in Kampung Sungai Duri. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and wear slightly roomy, flat footwear like sneakers.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Kampung Sungai Duri in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
