Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Ma Đa Guôi could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

The secret is to be prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Ma Đa Guôi in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
