• The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It’s also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don’t forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and pack a jacket just in case you get chilly. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

The secret is to be organized before you get to airport security. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Kosai in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online before you know it.
• Can’t travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it’s OK to bring with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren’t.
• Airlines won’t allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
