We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and seeing the best of Menara in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Menara a pleasure. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with a new cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
