We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through airport security and discovering Pangkalan Bun in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Pangkalan Bun a breeze. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on 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 in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
