If you're not prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a hassle-free start to your time in Dhangethi. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organized before your flight will make your trip to Dhangethi a breeze. Below you'll find some top tips for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, 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), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• 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 baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
