• Flying can be a pleasure if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, 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 prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Watch out Bản Năm Mương, here you come:

• Have your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
