• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. First of all you’ll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don’t have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pack a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.

It’s all about being prepared. We’ve put together some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Pathum Thani, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
