Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Wiang Chiang Rung could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and pick slightly roomy, flat shoes like sneakers.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Wiang Chiang Rung quick and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• 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, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers 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, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
