If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a comfortable start to your getaway in Đỉnh Giàng.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and don't forget to pack a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The trick is to be prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Đỉnh Giàng before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? Not a problem. 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 on board.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
