If you're not prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a comfortable start to your vacation in Lianyungang.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your getaway to Lianyungang quick and painless. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your 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 soon enough.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
