Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Kampung Budu could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack 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) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Kampung Budu in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring 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.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
