Cheap Flights to Nam Ruem

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Nam Ruem escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your trip to Nam Ruem a breeze. Read through our useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
