Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Thrissur could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It’s easy — first, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you’ll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don’t have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• You’ve probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There’s lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

The answer is — be prepared. We’ve put together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Thrissur, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner 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-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
