Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Koh Rong escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

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 your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Koh Rong in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
