If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a pleasant start to your vacation in Pak Nakhon.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a jacket in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• The result of sustained 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 your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Pak Nakhon quick and painless. Here are some top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with a new cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
