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 airport security and exploring Ranchal before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and pick easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance 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.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Ranchal a pleasure. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
