If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Terbanggi Besar. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and pick flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Look out Terbanggi Besar, here you come:

• Have your passport and boarding pass close by. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, 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-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
