We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a blast in Yingkou in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for slightly roomy, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The secret is to be well organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Yingkou in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
