We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Pulau Perhentian Besar in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Pulau Perhentian Besar before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, 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), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
