Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Kuching could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We’ve rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll want some basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don’t have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Kuching in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• It’s also possible you’ll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
