If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your time in Thanh Thuy.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and take a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a wise idea.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Thanh Thuy in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, 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 laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
