Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Ban Sang could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your highest priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy work well.
• A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks is also recommended.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Ban Sang, here you come:

• Have your ID and travel documents within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
