Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Thung Khai could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also recommended.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Thung Khai in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
