Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Thung Kracho vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown 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 nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and pack a pullover in case you get cold. Go for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The trick is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Thung Kracho in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Keep your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops 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 hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
