Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy hints that will get your Bukit vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good choice too.
• A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks is also recommended.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Bukit quick and painless. Read through our handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings 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 to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
