• First of all, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you’ll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Kochi a breeze. We’ve compiled some handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID handy. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It’s also likely that you’ll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won’t allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
