No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these top travel tips that will get your Guihulngan vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Guihulngan in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item 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.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
