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

• Flying can be a great experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Sepang, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Travelling with a new cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
