Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Jincheng could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Jincheng in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
