If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a pain-free start to your vacation in Bang Yai.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and remember to pack a pullover just in case you get cold. Go for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your luggage.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks may also help.

It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Bang Yai, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets 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 gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
