Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Ka Bang could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Here are some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

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 compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Look out Ka Bang, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
