We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and exploring Yunjinghong before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and wear flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Yunjinghong a piece of cake. Below are some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
