• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It’s also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don’t have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your trip to Bang Khonthi easy and painless. We’ve rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Have your boarding pass and passport someplace easily accessible. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to present to security.
• Your jacket, belt, 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 before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, it’s OK to bring with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
