Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Cốc San could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We’ve put together some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you pack the right things. First of all you’ll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

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 sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won’t be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy work well.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We’ve compiled some helpful hints for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Cốc San, here you come:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents easily accessible. They’re the first things you’ll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won’t allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
