Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Ban Wang Bot could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Ban Wang Bot a breeze. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• 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 before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• 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.
