Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Menggatal could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and take a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The secret is to be organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Menggatal in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
