If you're not prepared, traveling can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a worry-free start to your time in Sing Buri.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a wise idea.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Sing Buri a pleasure. We've rounded up some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Have your ID and travel documents at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
