• First of all, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and don’t forget to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Takeo easy and painless. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Don’t forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item 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 practical footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
