We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a blast in Lak in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Lak in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
