If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a stress-free start to your vacation in Khao Khitchakut.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring 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 airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and pack a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Khao Khitchakut, here you come:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
