Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you’re well prepared. We’ve made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Bogor escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be the goal when picking what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks may also help.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We’ve rounded up some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Bogor, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There’s a possibility that you’ll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
