Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Yangjiang could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Yangjiang in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
