We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a ball in Cai Be in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a jacket in case it gets cool. Pick flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

Being organized before your flight will help make your trip to Cai Be a breeze. We've compiled some handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need 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 tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
