Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Check out these top travel tips that will get your Cham Kho vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Cham Kho before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
