Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will get your Kampung Tekir Jawa escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and wear flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Kampung Tekir Jawa a breeze. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
