No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Cầu Kè escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pack a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

The secret is to be well organized before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Cầu Kè in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a chance you'll be required 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 are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
