Do you have any tips for my flight to Sop Ruak?

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Sop Ruak could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Sop Ruak?

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Sop Ruak in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
