We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a blast in Fu'an before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The trick is to be organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Fu'an in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
