If you’re poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there’s no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a trouble-free start to your vacation in Uiwang.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you’ll hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, won’t be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We’ve compiled some useful tips for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Uiwang, here you come:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can’t travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, you’re permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There’s a chance you’ll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can’t be taken on board. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
