Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Pathein could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We’ve pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help pass the time, like your laptop or a thrilling book. You’ll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items 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 one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your main luggage.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks can also help.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Pathein quick and painless. We’ve compiled some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often 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-close bag.
• There’s a good chance you’ll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
