RM1,478 Cheap Flights to Scales

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Scales holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your prime concern when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Scales, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
