Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Thuraiyur could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and don't forget to pack a cardigan in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for roomy, 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 immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Thuraiyur, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
