We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and exploring Dongtai before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Dongtai, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
