Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Ko Man Klang could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a good idea.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Ko Man Klang a pleasure. Read through our useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
