We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a ball in Chai Nat before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change 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 nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and opt for flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Chai Nat in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. 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 objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
