We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and discovering Kampung Jarak in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and take a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Kampung Jarak in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
