Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Madhubani vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case you get cold. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your main luggage.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Being organized before your flight can make your trip to Madhubani a breeze. Here are some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, 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.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
