Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Klang could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We’ve rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you’ve got all the right gear. Firstly, you’ll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don’t have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and bring a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. Go for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We’ve compiled some top tips for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Klang, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online soon enough.
• Can’t travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
