Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Nong Yang Chin vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Nong Yang Chin, here you come:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
