RM2,648 Cheap Flights to Lansdowne

If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a trouble-free start to your holiday in Lansdowne. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes like sneakers.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Lansdowne in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
