We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and exploring Fotu in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and take a pullover just in case you get cold. Pick flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your luggage.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

The secret is to be organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Fotu in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
