Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Nhu Thanh could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've compiled some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and wear easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Nhu Thanh, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
