Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will get your Kampung Telosan vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and take a jacket just in case you get cold. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

The secret is to be well organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Kampung Telosan in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
