We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and enjoying Ban Khueang in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

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 avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and choose shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

The trick is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Ban Khueang in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with a new cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
