We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and seeing the best of Batak in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The simple answer is --- be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Batak, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
