• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right gear. First things first, you’ll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good choice.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Being organized before your flight will make your trip to Desaru a breeze. Below are some useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne? Not a problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren’t.
• Airlines won’t allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
