Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Kapurthala vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your main luggage.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Kapurthala, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne? No problem. 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 on board.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
