If you’re not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But don’t hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Siping.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you’ll want some basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Siping easy and painless. Check out our useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• 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.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
