• The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organized before your flight will help make your getaway to Pudukad quick and painless. Below you'll find some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Have your ID and travel documents at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring 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), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
