Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Chaijia could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The trick is to be prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Chaijia in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, 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 arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
