Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Mulan County could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

It's all about being organized. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Mulan County, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
