If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your vacation in Qinyuan County. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Qinyuan County, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
