• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a good book. It’s also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don’t forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to Handan easy and painless. Check out our useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents easily accessible. They’re the first items you’ll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There’s a good chance you’ll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won’t allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
