We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Vinh in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Vinh in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
