We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and discovering Bim Son in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you bring the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and wear easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Bim Son, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
