We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Kaeng Sian in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The trick is to be well organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Kaeng Sian in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
