We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a blast in Đèo Lam before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Đèo Lam quick and painless. We've compiled some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
