Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Kampung Sungai Gedong escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

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 avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Kampung Sungai Gedong, here you come:

• Keep your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
