• A plane ride can be easy if you’ve got all the right things. First of all you’ll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, don’t forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won’t be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and don’t forget to pack a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your trip to Pankshin a pleasure. Read through our top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don’t hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
