No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will get your Pathum Thani vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Look out Pathum Thani, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics also need to be sent 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 in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
