We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and seeing the best of Kho Muong in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organized before your flight will help make your trip to Kho Muong a piece of cake. Below are some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container 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 sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
