What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Nansha before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Have your passport and boarding pass close by. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favourite hand and nail cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
