Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Chun'an could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you take the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Chun'an quick and painless. Read through our handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
