We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and exploring Trivandrum Technopark in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your prime concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Trivandrum Technopark easy and painless. Below are some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Keep your ID and travel documents within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids 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 quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
