If you’re poorly prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there’s no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a worry-free start to your getaway in Kengtung.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you’ve got all the right things. First of all you’ll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don’t have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to Kengtung in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID within easy reach. They’re the first items you’ll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed on board.
