We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a ball in Palani in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being prepared before your flight will make your trip to Palani a piece of cake. Below you'll find some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Travelling with your favourite cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
