Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Gò Quao could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure 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 can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The answer is — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Gò Quao, here you come:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
