We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a blast in Tanah Merah in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Tanah Merah in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra 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 safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
