Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Kumphawapi could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a smart option.
• A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Kumphawapi a pleasure. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
