We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and exploring Kon Tum in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a sweater just in case you get chilly. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Kon Tum a pleasure. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
