We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and discovering Chi Phan in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

The trick is to be well prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Chi Phan in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
