No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will get your Vọng Nhi vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also recommended.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

The answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Vọng Nhi, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
