We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and discovering Miri in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's all about being organised. We've put together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Miri, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
