Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will get your Yuanshi County escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and take a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Yuanshi County, here you come:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
