We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a ball in Jinhekou in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before your flight will make your getaway to Jinhekou a pleasure. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Traveling with a new cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
