We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a ball in Shangxinhe before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and remember to pack a jacket just in case you get cold. Opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of 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 perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Shangxinhe in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
