• First, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch a few z’s, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you’ll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Khao Suan Kwang a pleasure. We’ve compiled some handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don’t hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Don’t forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There’s a chance you’ll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won’t allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
