Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Kampung Jahit could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Kampung Jahit a piece of cake. Read through our handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner 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-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical 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 additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
