If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in Malim Nawar.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your main priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a smart option.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to mitigate your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your trip to Malim Nawar a breeze. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
