• First, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you’ll step 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 guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, can’t come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your clothing choices. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before your flight can make your getaway to Doraha a piece of cake. We’ve rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online in no time.
• Don’t forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. 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 inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There’s a possibility that you’ll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever 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 suitcase. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
