We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a ball in Nong Hi in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Nong Hi in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• 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-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
