Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Xinpu vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring 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 Swiss Army knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your main luggage.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Xinpu quick and painless. Below you'll find some top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
