If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a pleasant start to your vacation in Kampung Bukit Perdah.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet are quite common. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Kampung Bukit Perdah a piece of cake. Check out our handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
