We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you’ll be speeding through the airport and having a ball in Phu Quoc in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you’ll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your trip to Phu Quoc a piece of cake. We’ve rounded up some useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Can’t travel without your favorite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• There’s a possibility that you’ll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won’t allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
