Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Rumah Nyanggau could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Rumah Nyanggau in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
