• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It’s also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Being organized before your flight will help make your getaway to Mu Cang Chai a breeze. Here are some top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It’s also possible you’ll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
