We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and exploring Thiruthuraipoondi before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up in breathable clothing and take a cardigan in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Thiruthuraipoondi easy and painless. Below you'll find some top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
