We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you’ll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Thekkady in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good idea too.
• It’s likely you’ve heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to minimize your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We’ve compiled some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Thekkady, here you come:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren’t.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
