We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and seeing the best of Shazhoutou in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Shazhoutou before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport close by. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine 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-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
