Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Shuangpai County could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also recommended.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help lower your risk.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Shuangpai County, here you come:

• Have your ID and boarding pass handy. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
