• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good read. It’s also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don’t forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your prime concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

It’s all about being prepared. We’ve put together some tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Mae Sariang, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• 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 headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
