If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints for a stress-free start to your time in Kampung Rama.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Kampung Rama in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
