Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy hints that will help get your Kampung Bukit Tok Che Dol vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Kampung Bukit Tok Che Dol in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets 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 in no time.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
