• First things first, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful.

Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Kinabalu Park, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
