If you're not prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your getaway in Nikhom Phatthana.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a smart option.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help lower your risk.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Nikhom Phatthana in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to 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 scanner separately. Each product 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.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
