We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and seeing the best of Phu Bai in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organized before your flight can make your getaway to Phu Bai a piece of cake. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
