Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Kim Boi could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Kim Boi, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
