We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and seeing the best of Samundradevi in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Samundradevi a breeze. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. 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 bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
