We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and exploring Doi Hang in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Doi Hang a breeze. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
