Cheap Flights to Jerantut from HK$595

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a stress-free start to your time in Jerantut. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Jerantut a piece of cake. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Travelling with a new hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
